A New Species Of Actinomyces Pathogenic In Man, C. H. Werkman, Roger Patrick

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The organism which proved fatal to a boy of 14 was isolated under the direction of Dr. John Gammel of the Lakeside Hospital, Cleveland, Ohio, from a lesion measuring approximately 9 by 13 cm. located on the back. This large granulomatous process persisted for months; the central portion was ulcerated and freely exuded a tenacious, mucopurulent, sometimes blood streaked discharge. In the periphery there were several open and closed sinuses. Two biopsies revealed no actinomycotic granules although the organism was observed in sections of the granulomatous tissue. No granules were present in the morning discharge after washing with saline solution. …

Absorption Spectra Characteristic Of Vitamin A In Animal And Vegetable Oils, J. B. Philipson, Jay W. Woodrow

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A continuation of our previous work on the ultra-violet absorption spectra of substances showing vitamin A activity, tends to further substantiate the evidence that the absorption band in the regions 325-330 m.μ., which Morton and Heilbron have shown to be characteristic of vitamin A in animal fats, also characterizes vegetable compounds containing the growth promoting factor.

Motion Of K+ Ions In Mercury Vapor, Carl Frische

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Ionization by positive ion impact was studied in A, Ne, N₂ , CO, He, at voltages up to 4000 volts and the results seem to check with those of Sutton (Phys. Rev. 33, 363, 1929) and Beeck (Ann. cl. Phys. 6, 8, 1001, 1930) wherever a check was possible. When the work was extended to an element heavier than K + i.e., Hg. the results are more complicated. The evidence seems to indicate; (a) reflection of K + ions at all voltages, (b) an increase in mean free path with increase in voltage, (c) no ionization below 250 volts, …

Are You Educated?, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

A few months ago we tried to set up a sort of standard by which a per- son might judge as to whether or not he could satisfy the demands of ordinary health. It shall be the purpose of this article to set up a standard by which an individual might judge of the adequacy of his or her health knowledge. This discussion is based largely on the "Ten Commandments" by Dr. Livingstone Farr -and, given in an address before the American Public Health Association, and printed in College Text books of Hygiene by Smiley and Gould. Many will probably …

The Address Of The President - Our Underground Geology, James H. Lees

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Before I begin the serious discussion of this topic may I make a few explanatory statements? In the first place I realize that the title I have chosen is misleading in that it may convey the impression that we geologists are, or think we are, thoroughly familiar with the strata beneath our feet. As a matter of fact we know little more than the bare outlines of the facts regarding these strata and many years and much labor will be needed for completing their study as thoroughly as must ultimately be done. But I am devoted to brief titles, and …

The Role Of Copper In Hemoglobin Regeneration, H. L. Keil, V. E. Nelson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the past few years a considerable amount of investigation has been devoted to the part played by copper in hemoglobin formation. Hart, Steenbock, Waddell, and Elvehjem were the first to show that in nutritional anemia regeneration of hemoglobin does not occur when pure iron salts are administered, but if a small amount of copper as copper sulphate be added along with the iron salt regeneration is very rapid.

A Sampling Test Of The Technique Of Analyzing Variance In A 2xn Table With Disproportionate Frequencies, Bernice Brown

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The data used in this study are taken from the 1928 and 1929 records of the meat fed Wistar rats in the Animal Research Laboratory of the Foods and Nutrition Department at Iowa State College. The records of 149 animals were available, unequally divided as to sex, and including four generations. The weight of the animals at 28 days of age was recorded with the weight each week thereafter for six successive weeks.

Biology Courses In Fifty American Colleges, O. T. Walter

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This statistical study was prompted by a desire to know more definitely just what courses are being offered in the field of Biology; to gain a better understanding and appreciation of some of the varied problems which are common to the administrative heads of Biology departments; to offer a bird's eye view of curricular content to those students who are looking forward to teaching Biology or administering a department in some college devoted more exclusively to undergraduate rather than graduate study; and to obtain, with some degree of reliability, a standard of comparison for our own department.

Current Induction, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

ln the last number of the Science Bulletin [vol.4 no.3] we discussed Faraday's two experiments in current induction. It is interesting to recall at this time that September 21 of this year a centennial celebration of Faraday's discovery was held in Queen's Hall, London. Sir William Bragg, a renowned English physicist, gave the address on this occasion. This address was broadcast generally in America, being transmitted across the ocean by radio.

What About Organic Evolution?, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

One of the great generalizations of science is the theory of organic evolution. It is, however, very commonly misunderstood by the average person. To many, thanks to such deluded individuals as the late Wiliiam Jennings Bryan, it is a very dangerous doctrine and any one who believes in it is an atheist and must reject the teachings of the Bible. I have had college students ask this question. Is it possible for one to believe in evolution and be a Christian? This question arises only from one who has misconceptions as to the real meaning of evolution and perhaps also …

Suggestions For The Teaching Collection In Biology, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

There is nothing in the Biology course which can take the place of carefully planned and directed field work. The students should be encouraged to observe carefully and accurately for themselves and be given every opportunity to become acquainted with living things in their natural surroundings. The aquarium and terrarium can be made to supply much interesting material for study and should be in the laboratory whenever possible.

The Toll Of The Automobile, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

When the telegraph first came into general use in this country thousands of birds, particularly prairie chickens, were killed annually as a result of flying against the tightly stretched wires. On account of its great height, many birds collide with the Washington Monument, and are thus fatally injured; every lighthouse along the coast takes a great toll of birds during the year. The railroads destroy many animals also, but the automobile murders more wild animals than all the above-mentioned things combined. In the destruction of our wild fauna, it is next in importance to the rifle and shotgun. The Isaac …

Phantom Ringnecks, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Now the ring-necked pheasant is a big bird; he is about the size of a well-fledged leghorn rooster, weighs perhaps three and one-half to four pounds, and, including his long tail feathers, stretches easily two feet or more in length. Moreover, Nature fairly outdid herself in beautifying the ringneck; he is a perfectly amazing combination of green and red, of white and gold and bronze. His mate, on the other hand, is about the color of a prairie chicken, severely plain, modest and retiring.

Permanent Achievements Of Science, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

A very delightful man whom I once knew often said that he was deeply grateful to science for all its invaluable gifts to humanity, but that he would have more confidence in scientists if only they would change their minds less frequently. His indictment of science for its instability was a long one, and took a wide range.

Narcotics, H. E. Rath

Science Bulletin

The law requires that the nature and effects of both stimulants and narcotics be taught in the public schools. A short time ago the writer asked a dozen college students to describe the nature of the effects of narcotics, and to give the extent of their use. The replies were all much alike. All seemed to have a hazy idea that narcotics put a person into a stupor and that while in this condition the addict dreamed rosy dreams and had a pleasant time generally. Likewise most of the dozen seemed to have the impression that the use of narcotics …

Why Biology?: Editorial

Science Bulletin

Recently, a yoting woman of strong antivivisectionist convictions entered the office of a professor of biology and asked if she might buy some cats which he was keeping for dissection. Upon his refusal of her request - for cats have a way of becoming scarce when wanted for anatomical purposes - she said caustically: "You biologists are regular butchers. Unless one is going to be a doctor or a teacher of biology, what good can it possibly do to know the insides of a cat'?"
